Watanabe.
Lin Yang repeated the name; this name had not appeared in the previous records.
"Who exactly is he?"
"He is a spy for the Japanese group, who has been lurking around Mr. Zhao for many years. He must be the one who hid the treasure map in Mr. Zhao's secret room."
Ding Na only found out about the Wako Group later, and she was also unfamiliar with the name Watanabe.
It seems this person has been hiding their true intentions quite well.
"We'll wait here and protect Mr. Zhao's safety."
Inside the safe house, the three rested and recuperated for a while.
Zhao Tianbao sat in the chair, somewhat lost in thought. Everything that had happened today had left him exhausted.
Lin Yang and Ding Na sat quietly to the side, waiting for the old man to calm down and recount how he met Watanabe.
Zhao Tianbao sighed and spoke slowly, his voice lacking energy.
"It must have been eight years ago when I was browsing in the antique market."
In the crowd, a young man caught his attention; at that time, he introduced himself as Xiao Fang.
He was intently looking at a piece of porcelain on the stall, his eyes filled with a passion for antiques.
Feeling bored all by himself, he went up to chat with Xiao Fang.
It was discovered that although he didn't know much about antiques, he had a strong thirst for knowledge.
Zhao Tianbao paused for a moment, recalling some details.
"During the conversation, I learned that he had lost both his parents and came here alone to make his way in the world, eager to learn about antiques."
“I felt sorry for him, and I also saw that he was clever and sensible, so I took him home and had him help me with chores, while I also taught him about antiques.”
At first, Xiao Fang was only responsible for some trivial tasks, but he was conscientious and responsible and never made mistakes.
He spends his free time learning all sorts of knowledge, whether it's ancient books and historical anecdotes.
Later, he began to involve Xiao Fang in some important matters, which he was able to accomplish excellently.
A bitter look appeared on Zhao Tianbao's face.
“I trusted him more and more, and even entrusted him with the safekeeping of some of my precious collections.”
“He was very respectful and caring towards me. I had long regarded him as my own family member, but I never expected that it was all a carefully planned scam.”
After listening, Lin Yang comforted Zhao Tianbao with a few words and began to analyze the situation.
"Since Watanabe is a spy carefully planted by the Japanese group next to you, and he already has the treasure map in his hands, the next step should be to send it to Japan."
“You’re right. Don’t worry, I’ve already contacted the company and asked them to use all their resources and channels to track down the treasure map.”
Suddenly, Zhao Tianbao remembered something.
"Oh, right! I once heard Watanabe mention a Japanese man named 'Kameda' in a phone conversation."
At the time, Watanabe deliberately avoided Zhao Tianbao, but fortunately, Zhao Tianbao always felt something was off about the Japanese man's name.
That's why I kept a watchful eye on things.
Judging from Watanabe's tone and demeanor, this Kameda seems to be the person in charge of the Wako Group in China.
This was a very useful clue, and Lin Yang perked up.
"This is an extremely important clue! In that case, let's start with Kameda and follow the trail. Perhaps we can find the treasure map and uncover a bigger conspiracy behind the Japanese group."
"The company is aware of the situation and will send more personnel to provide support and strengthen the protection of Mr. Zhao."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yang decided that he couldn't just sit and wait for his death.
He instructed Dina to use her hacking skills to focus on investigating Kameda's whereabouts and his connections with the outside world.
He stayed by Zhao Tianbao's side, comforting the old man.
Ding Na used the company's powerful internal intelligence network to find out some information about Kameda.
On the surface, Kameda is a businessman engaged in import and export trade and is very active in the business world.
They have cooperative relationships with many well-known companies.
But he was actually engaged in many illegal activities in secret, including smuggling and trafficking of cultural relics and espionage.
He is an extremely dangerous and cunning person.
Looking at this information, Lin Yang could already imagine what this Japanese man looked like.
"Now that we have information about Kameda, we must take action as soon as possible."
Since Kameda is the head of the Japanese conglomerate in China, the treasure map is very likely in his possession or in one of his strongholds.
"We need to find a way to get close to him and find out more about him."
"Kameda has many bodyguards around him, and he is very cautious in his actions, so it would be a bit troublesome to get close to him."
After discussing it, the two decided to secretly approach Kameda.
Considering Zhao Tianbao's advanced age and the fact that he had just experienced such a frightening event.
His health is indeed not good, and he needs to rest and recuperate.
They decided to let Zhao Tianbao stay in the safe house to recuperate for the time being.
They also arranged for reliable company personnel to come and guard the area.
Lin Yang put on a special human skin mask, which altered his facial features.
He transformed into a middle-aged man with a cold and stern face.
Ding Na dressed up as a sexy and charming female secretary, with her curly hair casually draped over her shoulders.
Wearing a well-fitting business suit, she looked both capable and charming.
She is indeed the kind of secretary a big boss would choose.
After the two had made their preparations, they began to secretly follow Kameda.
They discovered that Kameda frequently visited a high-end establishment called the Red Sun Club.
This club is located in a prime area of the city.
Those coming and going were all prominent figures.
Therefore, the surrounding security measures are very strict, with surveillance cameras installed everywhere.
“We need to be careful; there are several well-trained security guards patrolling the area.”
